I mean, we should be criticizing anyone moving forward on a border wall, regardless of party. It’s a laughably stupid idea that will damage or destroy habitats and people will just walk around it or climb it because it turns out ladders have been invented. It did sound a little like they had to move forward because money had been appropriated for it, and I’m willing to revise my opinion of doing it if there’s info I don’t have, but I’m still going to stand by the part where it’s bad and stupid.
I knew this would be the spin.
Get bent, corporate news.
Biden is trying to court Republicans and it’s not going to work. Ever. SMH
From another article
In the Oval Office on Thursday, Biden made clear that he was moving forward with wall construction grudgingly, in order to comply with funds appropriated by Congress in 2019. He said he had tried and failed to get Congress to redirect the funding it had allocated for wall construction in south Texas. “The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t. In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that,” he said.
Research the damn issues before forming opinions about them people
The reality is you have to have a border even if you’re a Democrat you have to admit that.
Edit: I Hate fucking Trump With a white hot passion, but nonetheless, if illegal immigration hadn’t subsided, we wouldn’t be seeing the Unions making the progress that they have.
Now don’t get me wrong. Most of the reduced inflows are because Mexicans have chosen not to come here, not because the borders have been closed.
Either way, it has been good for American wages.
Ah yes, Unions were just waiting for border security to become established prior to organizing efforts. That makes total sense.
If you start a Union and they can just close and move to a place with excess labor pushing down wages it makes sense to think twice.
They can do that with or without border security.
Right, it’s the people looking to survive who are to blame, not the capitalists and politicians that enable them, who exploit them for starvation wage so that you can be paid the bare legal minimum and not only be grateful, but wilfully ignorant and spiteful enough to blame those worse off than you instead of those actually responsible.
Racist clown.
That has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with my comment.
I Hate fucking Trump With a white hot passion, but
Was wondering when this was gonna get here.
I have an idea, let’s build a big Migrant Processing center close to the border. Staff it and stock it with everything required (ie medical, security, temporary housing), treat people like people. And call it Latin Island.
Giant ‘statue of freedom’. They could use the sombrero from South Of The Border.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But with tens of thousands of migrants now attempting to settle in blue states and cities around the country, the ground has shifted in the national immigration debate, with Democrats increasingly calling on President Joe Biden to take action on the border.
Late Wednesday, the Biden administration took an extraordinary step of waiving a slew of environmental laws to move forward with construction of a roughly 20-mile stretch of new border wall in southern Texas.
Though the White House says the decision to move forward with new border wall construction was not tied to calls for action from blue state governors, it comes after their agitation grew to a crescendo.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has lashed out at the Biden administration and the Department of Homeland Security, which in turn criticized his handling as “not an operationally sound effort.”
For its part, the White House has said that it’s deployed 800 new active-duty military personnel to increase enforcement at the border, as well as recently granting Temporary Protected Status to Venezuelan migrants who arrived before July 31, allowing them easier access to work permits.
In an interview, Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas — who has long accused the federal government for not paying enough attention to border communities — said Democratic officials in northern cities like New York and Chicago had underestimated the problem that migrant influxes pose.
